I stayed here for 1 night in november 2003. It is a quiet, fairly small hostel, but with all the standard amenities. The bathrooms and rooms are average, but fine, and there is a pretty good kitchen which is adequate for the amount of guests staying there. The location is close to the water, and within walking distance of the ferry.

It's worth a short walk to get there. This is a small friendly hostel with a very helpfull staff. The rooms are big and clean. I am sure you will feel at home right away in this hostel. At least I did. One day the owners cooked a meal for all the guests. If you want to get away from the usual backpacker crowd and if you want to meet some interesting people go to this hostel.
